Nastia should be much higher in the standings right now...her routines were near perfection...so sad.

The host nation has cheated, so what rules will be applied?

[WithoutATrace]

Did they show Nastia's beam routine?? Or did I blink and miss it?

This is disgusting.

Ok, the score that that Chinese girl just got was complete BS.

So apparently, they are blocking the live feed of the gymnastics.

NBC is disgusting.

Lower the Chinese girl's score!

These bullsh*t scores and slower-than-hell judges (on their phones) are pissing me off and taking all of the live-energy and spark from these competitions.

I miss the days of Perfect 10s. This new scoring system seems so faulty. Updated On: 8/15/08 at 12:24 AM

What the hell??

Seriously, something is rigged here. That's crap.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:26am

Well, if you spend 40 billion, you must have influence!

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:27am

So, honestly, does the scoring seem biased? And, what are the TV commentators saying?

MF delay.

Somebody has the judges in their pocket.

arg! i just logged on to see if anyone was watching this bull****?

seriously... these ****ing olympics are rigged. the commentators are all saying the scores are way too low for america and way too high for china.

how can this be allowed?

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:29am

They were surprised at the high scores Yang Yilin received for doing routines that were clearly more mistake-laden than Nastia's and Shawn's.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:29am

GO NASTIA!!!!!!!!!

[EugLoven]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:31am

About DAMN time they gave an *HONEST* score to Nastia! She has worked her beautiful magic ALL NIGHT on every exercise, but finally got numbers to reflect her perfection.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:31am

Could this be the backlash from complaining about the age of the gymnasts?

Were either of the two Chinese competitors the ones accused of being underage?

[EugLoven]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:33am

WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO:

Ending the entire night, we focus on the Floor Exercise.

The final 3 performers, in order, will be
Yang Yilin (CHN)
Nastia Liukin (USA)
Shawn Johnson (USA)

TENSION!

These judges are horrific!

And regarding the age of the Chinese toddlers...my favorite line tonight was Bob Costas- "She looks just like a little girl on the playground!"

HA!

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:35am

It's like the Chinese get points for their mistakes as opposed to deductions.

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:36am

Let's see - she'll probably get a 16.2 at this rate.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:37am

I hate not being able to see this life. They post the scores on the site, but this really sucks. MF NBC.

[adamgreer]

Good.

Well, it's the Americans' to lose now.
